This is the MBM 307A Automatic Tabletop Paper Folding Machine!

Start off by opening up the front trays of the machine.

Next take a test page and adjust the table to the paper size. You’ll see that adjusting one edge guide will move the other side as well. When it’s ready, pull up on the lever on the side of the machine to open the throat and push the pages in.

I’ll go over the controls at the end of the video, but select a setting and both the top and the bottom trays will adjust to create the correct fold. You’ll see the common folds are labeled. You can also make manual micro adjustments using the wheel at the end of each tray.

Now I’ll run a test page—always do a test before any real project.

And it’s a good thing I tested it because my fold is not even. In this case I need to change the skew of the table slightly. To do this, you’ll find the adjustment on the feed table. Rotate the knob to angle to entire tray in small increments.

The folder also knows when you are using different common sized papers, automatically switching between C1, C2, and C3—from 8.5 x 11 paper to 11 x 17. It knows the by where the edge guides are set, and whether this sensor is covered.

You can also remove each folding tray. Unplug them and pull them out. This can be helpful if you have a jam. It gives you access to the rollers, which you can disengage, or you can simply run the project to potentially shoot the jam out.

When putting the trays on, not the two grooves and how they go in. These grooves fit into the black nobs as seen here.

And the power switch is hidden at the bottom here.

You can also adjust the wheels in the exit of the pages for different sized projects.

It’s possible to do a double fold, which I’ll show you. First run your project through once. Then when they are all finished, put them back into the feed tray. This time I’m going to add these extra blue guides. The wheels on these help push the folded pages down so they then insert the machine better. Run it again like normal and you have a page that is folded twice!

Now for the control panel! First, you can change the speed. You can also set the number of folds you are going to make, you can do so in increments of 1’s, 10’s, 100’s, and 1000’s. Next we’ll change the fold positions for each tray.

Push select until the tray light is on, right now I have the top tray selected. Choose the type of fold you would like edit, then use the plus or minus buttons to change the position. You can see it changing on the tray. Now do the same for the bottom tray.

With the correct fold pattern still selected, now hold the “store” button to save it and do a test to make sure the fold is what you wanted.

MBM 307A Automatic Tabletop Paper Folding Machine Review

There are many choices for an automatic tabletop paper folding machine but one to take note of is the MBM 307A. Loaded with automatic features and boasting of high capacities, this machine is built for high volume performance with simple operation. Here are more of the details of this device.

Strengths:

A three roller friction feed system slides single sheets into the machine. Paper size is automatically detected and displayed on the LED control panel. Differing paper weights are accounted for, ranging from 14lb to 70lb bond. Skew and micro-adjustment dials further ensure proper feeding and crisp folds. If a misfeed does occur, a display light and an audible signal immediately alert the user. A quick-release roller system offers easy removal and clearing.

The LED display includes a 4-digit digital counter to record the total number of processed items since the last reset. The batch function allows the user to fold a set number of pages without needing to count out an exact stack.

Automatically adjusted fold plates come programmed with six standard folds. Additionally, you can set and store up to 18 custom folds in memory for simple retrieval the next time you need to use one. A test button will fold two sheets for examination before a large batch is started. This allows you to make any fine tune adjustments you may need. The fold tables themselves are fully enclosed for safer and quieter operation.

Up to 450 sheets can be loaded into the hopper for folding. Items emerge as fast as 11,520 sheets per hour. A large, retractable tray stores the neatly folded documents and then slides in for compact storage. Items are enter and exit the machine from the same side for easy accessibility.

A wide array of paper sizes are accepted, spanning from 3.5" x 5" up to 11" x 17". Between the variety of paper sizes and fold styles, you can create just about anything, including booklets, menus, newsletters, and more. An optional perforator and scorer would increase the functionality of this machine even more.

MBM offers a one year warranty on this product, excluding wearables.

Weaknesses:

There isn't an option for the folding of multi-sheet documents. Offices only looking for a machine to fold single pages won't be affected by this. But newsletters or booklets are often created from multiple sheets. If your company often folds items such as these, you might want to consider a folder with this specific function.

While items are rapidly folded, the speed can't be altered by the user. Differing paper weights may fold better at various speeds. If you prefer to control the speed yourself, consider the 407A, which offers this option.

All in all, the MBM 307A is more than suitable to accommodate the folding needs of almost any office. With automated features designed to provide a smooth folding experience while still delivering quality, rapid folds, this device is both convenient and efficient. You will experience increased productivity, saving both time and money. Eventually this folder will pay for itself. We would highly recommend the 307A for your next office paper folder.
